DAILY NEWS Port Angeles, Briefly Canal talks to resume NEW YORK (AP) Panamanian Foreign Minister Aquilino Boyd said today that negotiations over the Panama Canal Zone will resume within two weeks. He said the U.S. negotiating commission will journey to Panama to reopen negotiations over the waterway. In Washington, meanwhile, the Panamanian Embassy Issued a statement in which Panamanian strong man Omar Torrijos said both President Ford and Jimmy Carter demonstrated "great irresponsibility" Wednesday night in answering questions about canal negotiations during their second presidential campaign debate. U.S.

to release list WASHINGTON (AP) The administration said today that it intends only to name U.S. businesses that observe the Arab Boycott of Israel in the future, a step which appears to fall short of the disclosures promised by President Ford. Ford shocked some Democratic members of Congress and seemed to reverse past official policy when he announced during his debate with Jimmy Carter Wednesday night that "the Department of Commerce will disclose those companies that have participated in the Arab boycott." Scoop admits 'goof' BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) U.S. Sen.

Henry Jackson of Washington said he made "a goof" when he predicted President Ford would win the November election. Jackson, one of the men Jimmy Carter beat out for the Democratic presidential nomination, told WICC radio in an interview Wednesday in Shelton, "I think Ford's going to win. I think he reached the bottom when the debates were concluded." Jackson heard that the tape was played on the Bridgeport radio station and telephoned the station today from Washington, D.C. He said the remark was "a slip of the tongue and let's just charge it up to one of those campaign goofs. We're talking so much about Carter and Ford, naturally it can happen and I guess it did happen to me.

WSU enrollment told PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) Enrollment at Washington State University is at a record high of 16,693 students this fall, says WSU Registrar C. James Quann. Quann said there are 509 more students attending classes this semester than during the same period of 1975. This year's freshman class is smaller than last year's by 149 students, but all other classes are larger, the registrar said Wednesday.

Quann said total enrollment is 103 less than the state's contract enrollment figure of 16,800. But he said a heavier-than-average student course load will bring the university up to par with credit-hour funding requirements. Everest assault set EVEREST BASE CAMP, Nepal (AP) Three climbers of the American Bicentennial Everest Expedition were to leave Camp Five at the level today, aiming for a final assault Friday on the world's highest mountain.

And here Robert Lee, Forks Rt. 1, Box 5301, was the owner of the car involved in an accident Sunday. An article in The Daily News Monday implied the driver of one of the vehicles, Harry M. Boula, Forks Rt. 1, Box 5220, was the owner of the vehicle.

Lee said Wednesday the vehicle was a total loss. Candidate supports no oil port Clallam County's retirement and tourist industries must not be jeopardized by location of an oil port in Port Angeles, according to Dick Lotzgesell, Republican candidate for District 1 county commissioner. Speaking Wednesday night in Port Angeles to a meeting of No Oilport, Lotzgesell said retirement and tourist businesses in the county could be ruined by an oil port and related industries, such as petrochemical plants. Also invited to the No Ollport meeting was Bill Knapman, Democratic candidate for District 1 commissioner. He did not attend.

"We have a very stable economy in the East End, based on tourism and retirement," Lotzgesell told the anti-oll port group. "People come to Clallam County to take a big breath of fresh air, to walk the beaches, to enjoy our environment. Retirement is one of the most stable industries there is. We don't have to worry if the price of a log goes down. "When you add that to recreation and vacationing, it makes a most lucrative, stable economy.

This is why I say we have to oppose an oil port, which could ruin what we have now," he said. Lotzgesell said he believes the "decision on whether we have an port may already be out of our hands. It may be with the state and federal governments. But the county commissioners should now be actively involved opposing the oil port. "If it does come here, they should establish the strictest of controls, in excess of what state and local laws provide." He also said he opposes Alaskan oil flowing through a proposed oil port on British Columbia's northwest coast at Kitimat.

He said Kitimat could also be severely impacted by oil spills and said he doesn't believe U.S. oil should flow through the Canadian province. He recommended the development of a proposed oil superport at Long Beach, now under study by California and federal agencies. He said it seems likely the California route would be cheaper than a Port Angeles oil port with less environmental impact. VERL C.

Community colleges and seek more state aid More college courses taught at Peninsula College in North Olympic Peninsula communities could result if additional funds requested from state legislature are granted. The next legislature will be asked to increase the state's community college budget from $265.1 million to $337.1 million, said system director John C. Mundt. In a report to a meeting last week of the State Board for Community College Education, Mundt said the $84.5 million increase is needed to cover a projected large enrollment and to provide other Forks hospital to give nursing course FORKS--Forks Community Hospital will sponsor a nurse aide training course starting Monday.

Queen of Angels RUMMAGE SALE Queen of Angels Gym 11th Oak Friday BAKE SALE ON STAGE Sponsored by Queen of Angels Altar Society Sequim meet on bus funds tonight -Private funds for support of noon buses for kindergarten will be sought by a parents' committee at a meeting at 7:30 tonight in the elementary school library. A cut in state support for buses, coupled with four consecutive 'special levy election failures in the school district, made it necessary to cut operation this school year of two buses which previously took the morning session kindergartners home and brought the afternoon pupils to school. Parents are concerned students may not be as safe in private transportation as they would be in school buses and many of the parents find it a considerable inconvenience to make the daily trip to the school, said Marilyn Kuest, spokeswoman for the parents. Some parents must make a 20-mile round trip to the school each day, Mrs. Kuest added.

She estimates that, based on the number of persons who have indicated an interest in furnishing the noon bus service $5 a month assessment on each family would finance the bus routes. Total cost is estimated at $288 a month. The buses have been financed by the school district the past two years. Tighter financing of the schools and a reduction in state support for busing from 80 per cent to 60 per cent, made cutting the noon service a necessity, Supt. Jack McKay said.

The $288 a month that must be supplied by the parents represents the 40 per cent funding needed to add to state support. Increased costs, including wages and fuel, have brought bus operation expenditures from $140,000 in the 1975 to 1976 school year to an estimated $151,000 in this year's school budget. State support last year was $118,000 but only $105,000 this year, McKay said. If the district would provide more money for bus routes, it would have to come out of funds earmarked for education, he said. An hour is needed at noon to allow time for the two buses, one for the east side and the other for the west side of the district, to make the round trip, McKay said.

The time now is only a half-hour. The additional time would come from reducing the morning and afternoon kindergarten session by 15. minutes each. The cut in the periods would not be significant. The length of the session would still be longer than last year.

In the 1975 to 1976 year a milk program took a total of an hour each day and is not included in the curriculum this year, McKay said. Forum set on charter former freeholders and county commissioners Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in, the municipal chambers. The meeting is sponsored by the League of Women Voters. The panel will first present a general synopsis of each section of the charter, with opportunities for supporting and opposing argument and rebuttal.

This will be followed by questions from a panel of representatives from The Daily News, the Chronicle, the Sequim Press and KAPY and KONP radio stations. Also available at the meeting will be a brochure prepared by the league listing the changes which the charter would make in the system of county government. The County Home Rule Charter will be discussed by a panel of Area counties not party to agency suit Clallam and Jefferson counties have not joined in a proposed lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the. Puget Sound Health Systems Agency. The suit is being instigated by Bob Grieve, a King County Councilman, and the King County Council last week authorized the spending of $3,400 as its share of costs for preparing the suit for the remainder of the year.

The other nine counties belonging to the health coordinating agency have either rejected participation in the suit or have taken no action on the matter, contrary to a story by The Associated Press which appeared last week in The Daily News. The complaints on which the suit is expected to be based include charges that local health planning is being usurped and that there is insufficient representation of elected officials on the health systems agency's governing board. The earlier story, based on information provided by The Associated Press, stated nine of the 10 counties were participating in the suit, with only Two films Monday at college Two foreign films will be presented as the second showing in Peninsula College's fall film series at 7 p.m. Monday in the college Little Theater.

Written background material will also be given to the audience. Directed by Josef von Sternberg, "The Blue Angel" is a stylized romantic drama of decadence and obsessed personalities. It is the first of seven films in which von Sternberg and Miss Dietrich worked together.

"Mother" depicts an aspect of the abortive 1905 revolt in Russia, dramatizing the injustices of Czarist life. Pudovkin concentrates on individuals whose problems have universal meaning. His three protagonists, all members of the same family, personify the forces in Russia in answers. 1905. DENTURES Individually Styled for You!

The suit is expected to cost $7,500 for preparation work during the remainder of this year, she said, with the participating counties to pay proportional shares of that amount and the $17,500 cost forecast for 1977.

"Needed services" at Peninsula College include more evening classes on the college campus and courses in Sequim, Forks and Port Townsend, college President Paul Cornaby said today. The college currently provides some courses taught in those communities but a limit set by the state on the number of students and faculty members that can be included in the college's system makes expansion difficult unless new classes are financially self-supporting. Additional financing would allow the state limit to be increased, Cornaby said.

It may also make it possible to establish offices in the community, he said. Students could be registered, informational materials could be distributed and a book store could be provided in such offices. They could provide a base for the college's operation in each community, the college president said. Facilities for the classes throughout the North Olympic Peninsula consist of school district buildings and private facilities rented by the college, he said. The additional money is also needed to offset increased costs of college operation caused by inflationary prices, Cornaby said.

Mundt said the state system is budgeted for 79,064 full-time students but is serving 89,192 and that an enrollment of 93,317 is expected during the 1977 to 1979 fiscal period. Flowers Say Thank You from pOSSS 457-5544.
